The garden is breathtaking… Your photos are like something from an English Country Living magazine… I’d love to come and see it and you too!) neinah/gillian
I am! The thing was such a beast to get over here from Seattle, but so worth it. The sound is wonderful and the birds love it.
I hope you are seeing more sun than usual over there.
Have a lovely weekend.
We’re seeing some sunshine with thunder and lightning – regular power cuts too which are a bit of a nuisance 😦
I forgot to say how lovely your blog looks now – I like the darker background as it really makes your flowers pop!
Still raining? WTH? I will speak to the weather gods on your behalf. England needs some sunlight STAT!
Thank you for noticing. I showed it to my husband to get some feedback but I think his mind was on other things….oh well
Wow great score on Craigslist!!!– How lovely to find another person who treasure hunts there. And it sounds like you are just up in Seattle, and your garden is incredible, and you like it all grown together like I do. Hugely nice to meet you! –L
Aha, sistuh from another muthuh!
Thank you for the compliment, you are too kind.
I only wish that I lived in Oregon- Friendly vibes, good sales and incredible antique shops, and food, etc, etc.
My daughter is going to school in Portland, and so I am leaving tomorrow to stay at her place for a few days.
My dream (When my husband retires and the economy improves) is to dig up my garden and move it all to Oregon. I always feel like I’m home when I’m there.
Nice to meet you too!

Hi There
Happy end of the summer – we’re finally getting some consistant warm (?) sunny weather. Your new blog format is wonderful. The black makes all the photos pop. Beautiful fountain. Diligence pays!
Wow, your gardens might just be the most beautiful I have ever seen! I am trying but have a long way to go with mine 🙂
Have you ever thought of writing up any design schematics, or general plant lists for others to start with with some of your photos? You’re very talented, I would love to learn!

Hey Lady! Thank you, such compliments!
I will be in Portland most of this next week, but anytime after that 🙂
I just got back from Portland (I love that town – I could shop till I drop – and do…, every time I go there!!!)
How would next Tuesday or Weds work???
Oh Susan… your fountain is SO beautiful. You must be absolutely thrilled!!

Stunning photos! Added your blog to my inspirational gardening blog links!
You must be so proud. All your hard work resulting in something so beautiful. I would love to see it too. Perhaps one of these days…
Susan, Thank you so much! I must say I am proud of it, and I am thrilled with how little care it takes.
Maybe some day you shall!
What a fabulous fountain to have in your garden, and as for those garden borders, I love them.
Thank you Alistair!

Your gardens are so breathtaking! And what a score on Craigslist!! It looks beautifully weathered, like it’s been in your yard forever! Just love!
Love the fountain!! I love how deep your garden beds are. Gorgeous!!
What lovely pictures, I really enjoyed this post.

Thank you Andrea,
I really should do that as I have a lot of favorites. Thank you for the nice compliments and the encouragement!

The fountain is a beauty! My favourite photo is the first one – delightful and enchanting planting!
